And now it's time to hear from bilingual writer, poet, creator, performer and Irish Writers' Centre ambassador, Ciara Ní A.

I remember as well, early on when I started writing, I was travelling all the time.

I'd be going to a gig and I'd be in Athlóin and then I'd be doing a school workshop somewhere else and I don't drive, so I was going all over the country.

And I was just really busy and that's how it is when you're starting out.

You're not making a lot, you're not sure if you're making any difference.

You're kind of saying, why am I doing this? But I met Valarí Bistony and she asked me to be her ambassador for the year.

just raise aga chín tach, because I kind of felt like, well, I must be doing something right if the Irish Writers' Centre wants me to be an ambassador, if you look at the list of other ambassadors.

And now Ciara talks about creating spaces for queer Irish language writers and will perform for us, Ás Gaeilge.
